The third variable is `cilium_ipsec_key.` You need to create a secret key string for this variable.
The third variable is `cilium_ipsec_key`. You need to create a secret key string for this variable.
Kubespray does not automate this process.
Cilium documentation currently recommends creating a key using the following command:

```shell
echo "3 rfc4106(gcm(aes)) $(echo $(dd if=/dev/urandom count=20 bs=1 2> /dev/null | xxd -p -c 64)) 128"
```

Note that Kubespray handles secret creation. So you only need to pass the key as the `cilium_ipsec_key` variable.
